What it is

To prepare this meal, simply remove the outer packaging. Pierce the film on the chilli con carne tray and microwave on high for the time indicated on the packaging, or until piping hot throughout. Separately, heat the rice according to its instructions, which may involve microwaving or stovetop preparation. Once both components are heated, combine them on a plate or enjoy them directly from their containers. Stir the chilli before serving for best results.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade chilli, this ready-meal offers unparalleled convenience. The spice level and texture are consistent with typical restaurant-style chilli con carne. The inclusion of rice as a separate component ensures it remains fluffy and distinct from the chilli.
